Cadete should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Like MulsanneMike said, the ACO wants LMPs to be the at the top in Le Mans. And yes, 2004/05 are transition years, new rules have been implemented and the old chassis will gradually give place to new ones.

Chevyguy, are you sure about the Audi A8? The A8 is the limousine Audi, it's more recent generation has been around for at least a year, and it is hardly GT material...
Perhaps you are referring to the Audi Le Mans concept car, which used the base of a Lambo (can't remmember if it was the Murcielago or the Gallardo) but the engine had either a supercharger or a turbo, can't remmember well either. But there was never a definite answer whether it would become a production car or if it would be a concept car forever.

Osella, a hybrid Zytek is a Zytek adapted to the LMP1 regs, which is what Zytek will have to do if they don't wish to build a totaly new car. Currently the Zytek races in the LMP1 class, but under the old LMP675 rules.
